The best use of artificial intelligence will not be the fastest use of AI. First, understand where it really matters

Staffing shortages, rising patient acuity and the spread of AI self-diagnosis tools are all hitting the health care system at the same time.

The results are in: AI is changing the health care workforce forever. Are you ready?

Instead of treating AI as a black box, we should integrate it like a new team member, with clear expectations, guidance and support, to help build trust.

Rosemarie Aznavorian says acuity matters more than ratios, and when patients self-treat before arriving, hospitals need even more nurses to care for them.

Ambient artificial intelligence scribes are the biggest shift in clinical documentation in a generation. Here’s what the evidence actually shows.

How ambient AI and clinical decision support are reducing administrative burden, eliminating burnout and returning the focus to patient-centered care

UCSF's Robert Wachter, M.D., says ambient AI scribes have done something rare in health care technology: made physicians want more AI, not less.

Misdiagnosis, contraindicated treatments and missed care are all on the table when AI becomes a patient's first (and only) stop.
